Getting Over
I left a tear on my pillow
One lonely tear on my pillow
The morning you left me
That cold day in hell
Now all that I’m feeling
Is pretty much nothing
And the tear is now bigger
It can fill up this well
That hole that I call a well
A vague recollection
I gave some misdirection
Which prompted your leaving
Leaving me in this pain
Now all that I’m left with
Is an empty impression
Of your body in bed here
And I need you again
To pull me from this hell
Your love…
You took it and went away
Your love…
Too hard to get over it
Your love…
Was it real or just pretend
Your love…
I don’t care, I no longer need
Your love…
The room is now darker
Though the window’s wide open
As the sun yet shines in
It leaves me no view
And this tear on my pillow
Has grown to an ocean
With waves that are crushing
Because of just you
My heart, it cries for you
So now, with my face in this pillow
My tears they can’t fall
My cries, they are silenced
To nothing at all
I hope this will end soon
The pain and heartache
And I can then move on
As my life is at stake
Because, I must get over…
Your love…
You took it and went away
Your love…
Too hard to get over it
Your love…
Was it real or just pretend
Your love…
I don’t care, I no longer need
Your love…
